Life and Safety Consultants, Inc. is seeking an experienced Construction Safety and Health Specialist for a full-time, contract-to-hire opportunity in the Gaffney/Spartanburg region of Upstate South Carolina.
This position is ideal for a hands-on safety professional who enjoys being in the field, working directly with contractors, and helping organizations maintain safe, compliant, and productive job sites.
About Life and Safety Consultants
Life and Safety Consultants has been operating out of Greenville, South Carolina since 1997. Founded by Don Snizaski, a former OSHA Compliance Officer, the company began with a strong foundation in OSHA compliance and has grown to support organizations across manufacturing, construction, healthcare, transportation, and other industries.
Today, Life and Safety Consultants helps companies navigate requirements from OSHA, DOT, DHEC, EPA, and other regulatory agencies while supporting a clear mission: helping organizations protect their most important assets — people and the environment.
About the Opportunity
This is a 6–9 month staffing assignment with strong potential to transition into a permanent role based on performance. The position will primarily support safety operations in a construction-focused environment, with some exposure to general industry settings.
The role is full-time, approximately 40 hours per week, with potential overtime opportunities.
Key Responsibilities
In this role, the Construction Safety and Health Specialist will support daily safety operations by conducting contractor and visitor safety orientations, performing routine safety audits and inspections, identifying hazards, and helping ensure compliance with company policies and OSHA regulations.
The specialist will also track corrective actions, assist with incident prevention efforts, and work with site leadership to support a strong safety culture.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will have at least five years of EHS or safety experience, with construction experience preferred. An OSHA 30-hour certification is required.
Strong candidates will be organized, comfortable working independently, and able to communicate effectively with contractors, visitors, employees, and site leadership. Experience conducting safety audits, managing corrective actions, preparing safety documentation, and using Microsoft Office or safety management software is also important.
Compensation and Benefits
The hourly rate for this role is $40–$55 per hour, based on experience.
Benefits include:
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Health insurance
- Dental insurance
- Vision insurance
- Daily per diem for candidates relocating or commuting from outside the area
Physical and Field Requirements
Because this is a field-based construction safety role, candidates should be comfortable walking and standing for extended periods, working outdoors in varying weather conditions, climbing stairs or ladders, accessing elevated work areas, and wearing required PPE such as a hard hat, safety glasses, hi-vis vest, and steel-toed boots.
